This invention relates to the art of pastry making, and particularly to improvements in pie baking plates, and it is the principal object of the invention to provide a pie plate 5 allowing the simultaneous baking of a variety of pies.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a pie baking plate of simple and inexpensive construction, yet durable and W eflicient in operation.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a pie baking plate equipped with a partition, or partitions adapted to be clamped or secured to the pie plate and al- 3 lowing the oven heat to be uniformly distributed.

These and other objects and advantages of the invention will become more fully known as the description thereof proceeds,

and will then bespecifically pointed out or defined in the appended claims.

lln the accompanying drawing, forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is a fragmentary detail top plan view of a pie making plate constructed according to my invention.

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary side elevation thereof.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary sectional end view of one of the partitions on an enlarged scale. Fig. 4-. is a fragmentary enlarged detail view of the partition securing means.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary top plan view of a pie baking plate having part of its bottom broken away.

Fig. 6 is a top. plan view of a modified form of pie baking plate.

The pie baking plate illustrated in Figures 1 to 5 comprises the usual plate 10 having a raised margin 11. On this plate a diametrically aligned partition 12 is provided comprising a substantially prismatic hollow body on a foot plate or flange 13 held against the outer bottom part of the pie plate by means of suitable clamps 14 near its ends pressing by means of their fingers 15, against the foot flange 13 while these fingers are frictionally and pivotally held at their other ends between suitably shaped lugs 16 on the pie plate. The pie plate and partitions may he made in two parts hinged together, as atl7. The partitions 12 and their foot flanges 13 are not entirely adjacent and allow an unimpeded circulation of the oven heat to uniat formly distribute the heat.

It will be clear that in this manner pies of difierent kinds may be baked in one plate, as for instance an apple pie may be baked on one side of the partition, while a peach o or other pie may be baked on the opposite side of the partition.

'lhe modified form of pie plate 18 illustrated in Figure 6 shows a margin 19, and three hollow prismatic partitions so formed at therewith, having foot flanges 21 held in place by clamps 22 of the same construction as described above with respect to the preferred forms Also in this form the plate is made in W parts hinged together as at 23, 2d and25.

On this plate three diderent varieties or pies, as for instance lemon, mince and cherry pie, etc, may be baked simultaneously as will be evident.

While l have disclosed the preferred forms of my device as examples, it will be understood thatsuch changes may be made in the construction of the minor details of my pie baking plate as come within the at scope of the appended claims without departure from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Having thus described my invention, what ll claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: 1

1. A. pie baking plate comprising a body havin a diametrical elongated a erture, a

artit-lon formed by two inclined sides meetmg at the top ends, and spaced apart therealter, and provided with flanges along the bottom edges, said partition being removably engageable in said diametrical elongated aperture, and means depending from said body 'for clamping said partition to said body in engaged positions.

2. In a pie baking pan, a plate, a partielongated aperture, a partition having a foot tion, a foot flange on said partition, and flange, and engageable in said aperture, and 10 means for securing said foot flange to said means for securing said partition to said late, said means comprising a plurality of plate, characterized by fingers frictionally' 5 ange engaging fingers, and lugs on said and pivotally secured to saidplate.

plate to which the opposite ends of said fin- In testimony whereof I have aflirled my gers are pivotally and frictionally secured. signature. 4
